You might have noticed, I’ve been absent for a little while and rather quiet.

I found out the hard way that a Hard Drive (SSD) can crash without warning, and simply be toasted beyond use. As it also turns out my most recent back-up is also not reading, luckily I still had my third and fourth, taking my last saves back to December.

Rather than putting this up immediately, I took it to an expert and looked into data recovery. When that didn’t work, I am faced with a 15% chance of recovery or total lose, or paying a substantial sum for the return of the missing work.

Which when re-creating for print it would be 14 total pages I would need to redo. Luckily, I still have these uploaded pages but the amount missing would still take months to re-make for high-res. Which is pretty damn daunting, knocked the wind out of me for over a week.

That said, I am going to keep going (like i’d ever stop.) I’ve just been working my way back up to it with art (character development, and rebuilding color palettes), and I need to update to windows 10 and do an entire re-build while I have the chance.

I was given a rare opportunity and jumped for it. I was offered to attend the Dallas Fan Expo with a few good friends and meet Stan Lee.

So after a 14 hour drive and a theme-park like wait, I was able to get him to sign a poster I have held onto for a few years. The exchange was simple, a thank you, a discussion about the piece, and the smile we have all come to expect from probably the biggest celebrity of out genre.

My friend Adam went just before me, and had a notable one as well.

“Thank you for your years of entertaining Stan!” He shouted while being ushered, and Stan looked up and grinned and said. “It’s all for you.” Absolutely stellar exchange to his fans, and looking pretty swell for 93.

If you are attending, direct message my Instagram or hit me up on here. I am always down for adventures.

While it’s the off week for the comic while I update colors for all the newer pages. I wanted to announce something a little different from what I usually post on here.

This May I am a proud returning participant in St. Baldrick’s, a charity that focuses on childhood cancer research. This is my second year as a Shavee and I’m offering rewards for donators. So on top of seeing my oddly shaped bald head, there are some extra rewards below.

– Rewards as follows (All proceeds go to St. Baldricks.)– Any Amount – I’ll get you something, even if just a heartfelt thanks.– $20 Sketch – of your choosing, usually 30 minutes of sketching.– $60 Full Commission – Whatever you want within Reason.– $80 Full Colored Commission – Whatever you want.

FOR REWARD:Using either the Contact Form, or Email listed in the response simply touch base with me. (All donations are viable for , just let me know)

While there is no goal cap for Donations, I have a personal goal of $500.

If we hit this goal by the end of May, I will be uploading the ‘Origin of Dr. Odd’ the first of a long list of Mini’s, that focuses on diving into the rest of the Underdog Universe. This Mini is being done by the long time friend of the comic Anthony Salinas. (Check out his stuff, truly amazing.)
